Boat bought on eBay hits rocks on 'first' voyage

Two “untrained” British sailors who bought their yacht on eBay smashed their boat onto rocks after getting lost just 400 yards into what was believed to be one of their first voyages.

The hapless pair went out in their $5,000 24-foot vessel, but were soon left teetering on a reef near the entrance to St Peter Port harbor in Guernsey, England — just 800 yards from their departure point.
